Software Resources - sparkfun nRF52832 Hook-Up Manual

If you feel hamstrung by the bootloader and want to begin JTAG'ing and debugging the nRF52832
with a more robust tool, consider grabbing the nRF52832 Hardware Development Kit. You can even
use it to program the nRF52832 via the SWD protocol.
For faster programming, an nRF52832 Development Kit can be used to program the nRF52832
Breakout Board.
(The nRF52832's single-wire debug – SWD – pins are broken out to test points near the NFC
antenna pads – labeled "C" and "D" for SWDCLK and SWDIO.)

Software Resources

The pair of Arduino examples in this tutorial barely scratch the surface of the nRF52832 and the
BLEPeripheral library's capabilities. For more on the BLEPeripheral library, we recommend checking
out the included examples, under the File > Examples > BLEPeripheral menu in Arduino. When
you begin creating BLEPeripheral sketches of your own, we recommend checking out the library's
API.
The nRF5 SDK – Nordic's software development kit for the nRF51 and nRF52 series chips – is an
amazing suite of software and example applications. All you need to set the toolchain up is
ARMGCC (the SDK also supports Keil and IAR, if you've already shelled out for those options). The
SDK is rife with examples which demonstrate all of the nRF52832's BLE capabilities, plus ANT,
NFC, and all of the chip's hardware peripheral features.
